Notes on Sauer's Lemma

Introduction Every binary classifier is a function mapping its input, which is an element in an enumerable dataset, to 0 or 1. Equivalently, we could regard the classifier as a function $ f : \mathbb{N} \rightarrow \{ 0, 1 \} $. We have a set of hypotheses $\mathcal{H}$ from which a function is chosen to maximize the classification accuracy. It is perfect if $\mathcal{H}$ contains all possible functions $ f : \mathbb{N} \rightarrow \{ 0, 1 \} $, which indicates a universal approximator....
